The Americans: The Summit (2018)
What happened to this show??
Did the writers run out of steam or were the producers rushing to finish? This is just... bad, unbelievable, and sooo drawn out. I feel like I'm watching a filler episode of my favorite anime. Think Goku charging up for a Spirit Bomb that goes on for two to three episodes. Nothing happening except yelling and the anticipation of the impending boom... or better yet... doom.
I'm so underwhelmed. The show took 5.5 seasons for some gradual character growth by Elizabeth... who has been wrong from the get go but will never admit it. Where is the screen time for the Russian characters we actually like? Why does Stan make astronomical leaps in his investigation? Everyone smoked in the late 80s. And Philip, your indecisiveness is going to get your family killed!!!
Well I always to finish a review with the positives...the production and acting was, as always, top notch....
The Power of the Dog (2021)
Benedict Puts the Team on His Back
Benedict Cumberbatch delivers a nerve wracking performance and his bother George (Jesse Plemons) was excellent. Kirsten Dunst left many things to be desired. The movie lacks any sort of plot and that is why I can understand the negative reviews. But overall, what a beautiful movie even if you do not like Westerns.
